Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the coal industry [9]. Core Viewpoints - The recent acceleration in coal price decline is primarily attributed to a post-holiday drop in demand (seasonal factors and reduced expectations for inventory replenishment) and increased supply (production and transportation volume) leading to a higher port inventory and a willingness to sell at lower prices. However, with the upcoming peak summer demand and relatively stable supply, the report suggests that the coal prices are likely to stabilize during the peak season [2][7].

Price Trends - The market price for 5500 kcal thermal coal at Qinhuangdao port is 630 CNY/ton, reflecting a decrease of 20 CNY/ton (-3.08%) compared to April 30. The report indicates that the price support remains due to cost factors from production and imports, despite the high inventory levels [55][30]. Future Outlook - The report anticipates that the coal prices may continue to explore the bottom in the short term due to high inventory levels and the approaching rainy season. However, there is a potential for a moderate rebound in prices as the demand for coal is expected to improve during the peak summer season, with a projected 17% increase in daily consumption compared to the second quarter [7][8]. Investment Recommendations - The report suggests marginal allocation in the coal sector, recommending stable profit leaders such as China Shenhua (A+H) and Shaanxi Coal, as well as growth-oriented companies like Electric Power Investment Energy and Xinji Energy.
